We know, because we had a great one

At one time or another every town should have an Al Ingalls.

Bluffton had one. And we truly feel for the towns that didn’t.

Al and his wife, Millie, owned Ingalls Restaurant. It was the last real sit-down restaurant on Main Street.

What a place. Hours were, oh, 5:30 a.m. to, what, 10 p.m. at night?

Those hours were set for the community, not the owners. It operated in a sort of informal “community system.” Meetings took place there. Deals developed. Coffee was poured. More meetings took place. More deals developed. More coffee was poured.

Thirty percent of the persons who took the most recent Icon poll say they learn by using their body, hands and sense of touch.

The entire poll results are above.

The current Icon poll asks viewers to rank the frequency of buying lottery tickets. To record your opinion in this poll go to the bottom left side of the Icon's home page.

Seinfeld fans will understand this column attempt. It is truly about nothing.

A banker, a coffee shop owner and a retired chamber director walk into a bar.

Make that a bar and grill. No, make that “meet a bar and grill owner and coffee shop owner in the alley parking lot behind the coffee shop.”

It’s Friday morning. Each admits he doesn’t want to go to work – but in reality that is not true.

Minutes before, with cups in hands, the banker and retired chamber director purchase coffees-to-go.
